Founding seller terms

Seller questions

When does the founding clock start?

At public launch, not when you sign up. Joining now costs nothing, and your three months at 0% begin on launch day.

How is commission calculated?

Once a month, on your product sales for that month, not including shipping. For example, on $3,000 of sales at standard rates you pay 12% on the first $2,000 ($240) plus 7% on the next $1,000 ($70), for a total of $310.

Do you take commission on shipping?

No. You set your own shipping rates, and the shipping your customer pays is yours.

Are there monthly, listing or setup fees?

No. You only pay commission on what you sell, plus card processing.

What is the card processing fee?

2.9% + $0.30 per order. It is what the card processor charges us, passed through at cost with no markup, and it applies to the full amount the customer pays.

What does "locked in for life" mean?

Your founding rates never go up for as long as you sell with us. They stay below the standard rates at every sales level.

Can the standard rates change?

They may be adjusted as the marketplace grows. If they change, we will tell sellers by email in advance. Founding rates are not affected.

What if the 25 founding spots are taken?

You can still join the marketplace on standard terms.

Who ships the cheese?

You do, directly from your creamery, so every order goes straight from your aging room to the customer. You set your prices, shipping rates and ship days.

How do I apply?

Fill in the founding-seller form. We will follow up by email with next steps and onboarding.
